Though the bolsheviks captured the russian tsar and his family, they did not kill them right away. why did vladimir lenin order the execution of the tsar and his family in 1918? a) lenin believed that if he let the tsar and his family live, he would seem "soft" and therefore not worthy of his followers' support. b) his rivals might "rescue" the tsar and his family and then gain the support of nationalists who wanted the tsar back in power. c) he knew that the execution of this loving family would show the world that lenin was a ruthless leader who could not be ignored. d) lenin ordered the execution of tsar and his family as a way to get back at the tsar’s family for lenin’s unpleasant childhood.

B) His rivals might "rescue" the tsar and his family and then gain the support of nationalists who wanted the tsar back in power.

The Reds were concerned that White forces could reach and free the overthrown tsar and his family.

the answer as multiple choice is c

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.
